William W. Farley Papers, Alfred E. Smith Letter, October 2, 1925

October 2nd, 1925. Mr. William F. Farley, Binghamton, N.Y. Dear Mr. Farley:- You may recall that last May I invited a number of our prominent citiznes to meet me in New York with a view to formulating plans for informing the public on the Permanent Public Works Amendment to the constitution to be voted upon this Fall. I was prevented from holding this conference because of temporary illness. Subsequently, there was undertaken the organization of a representative committee of citizens to support the proposed amendment. Your acceptance of membership on this committee will be greatly appreciated. To make clear the purpose of this amendment, I am enclosing an excerpt from my last annual message and the recommended program prepared by the heads of the State Departments. I am asking those who accept to meet me in the Executive Chamber at the Capitol on Thursday afternoon, October 8th, at 2 o'clock, at which time the recommended program will be presented for consideration. It is hoped that the committee will organize to carry on an effective campaign of public information. Sincerely yours, (signature) Encl.
